Tears rolled down her cheeks. Miao Yijia looked at her mother and opened her mouth, her voice hoarse: "Mom."
Miao's mother had a stern face. Even though she felt sorry for her, she refused to budge. "Look at what you've done. You told me you were coming to South City to find a job, but you ended up getting involved with your cousin and got pregnant. Now the child is gone. You...how could you be so troublesome! Don't you know your cousin has a family? What the hell are you doing?"
Miao Yijiajia's tears at this moment were real, not like before when they were a tool she used to gain sympathy. She was really sad and aggrieved.
Miao Cuixia muttered, "Don't blame Jiajia. It's not her fault."
Miao's mother glared at her angrily: "You're still speaking for her and interfering in your cousin's marriage. How can this be glorious?"
Miao Cuixia knew she was in the wrong and said nothing more.
Miao Yijia didn't get a good look from her mother, so she turned to her father and cried, "Dad."
The usually gentle Miao father remained silent. He still felt ashamed of what had happened, and he hadn't been in a good mood since he found out yesterday. Although his daughter wasn't his biological daughter, he had raised her from a speechless baby to her current age, and he had a deep affection for her, no different from his own. Now, seeing her self-degradation, he felt both heartbroken and angry.
Miao Yijia pursed her lips. She knew that if her parents found out, not only would they not support her, they would scold her. This was because she had just lost her child and was lying in bed. They couldn't say anything harsh to her. If she were fine, they would have been furious and might even have slapped her.
Miao Yijia glanced around and asked weakly, "Where's Chen Songbai?"
Miao's mother's face suddenly fell. She didn't even call him cousin, but called him by his name. It was really infuriating.
Miao Cuixia quickly said, "He's outside. I'll go get him in for you."
After hearing that Miao Yijia was fine, Chen Songbai was about to go back to work, but Miao Cuixia stopped him, saying his uncle and aunt were coming over and that it would be unreasonable for him not to be there when Miao Yijia had such a thing. So, he stayed. But he didn't want to stay in the ward, so he stood at the end of the corridor.
Miao Cuixia came over and pulled him into the ward by his arm.
When Miao Yijia saw him, tears welled up in her eyes. "I know it was an accident that I got pregnant with your child. I understand why my cousin's wife hates me, but she shouldn't have treated me like this. The child is innocent after all."
Chen Songbai looked at her with a dark expression. He knew Xia Xuan well; she couldn't possibly do anything bad. Therefore, he concluded that Miao Yijia was lying. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Miao Cuixia had long believed Xia Xuan was the murderer. Now, hearing Miao Yijia's testimony, she felt even more confident: "I knew it was that little bitch! Her sister even said I had no evidence and was slandering her without any evidence. Chen Songbai, tell that little bitch to get out of here! I want to hear what else she has to say!"
